Abu Tha'labah al-Khushani (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I said, “Messenger of Allah, we are in a land inhabited by the People of the Book. May we eat from their vessels?” [The source text contains the sequence “]فـَ]” here.] He replied, “Do not eat from them unless you find no others; then wash them and eat from them.” Agreed upon. 1 — Authentic. Al-Bukhari (5478, 5488, and 5496) and Muslim (1930) reported it. It has other chains and wordings from Abu Tha'labah.

]فـَ]
The Arabic source contains a malformed bracketed sequence interrupting the report immediately before the response formula. Its intended relation to the preceding question cannot be confirmed from this unit alone.
Can this bracketed source anomaly be checked against an authorized source edition before any normalization?
